Thoughts on Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax?

Need to get some wax on the truck while we still have some good weather, anyone here try this stuff, any good?

 

yep, have used it quite a bit. works good enough.

 

I've used the black liquid wax and it's not bad, pretention longevity is the issue. Doesn't last near as long as other sealants out there

 

Meguiar's makes good stuff. I am sure its good as well. Key is to apply a few times a year, stay away from (brush type) car washes, and use a good car wash soap when washing.

Currently use Tech 2.0 with great results.

 

I use it with Ultimate Fast Finish and it lasts pretty well. A while back I used Purple Power Vehicle and Boat Wash to strip off the ULW and UFF and found, to my amazement, that it still beaded really well. I also follow each wash with Ultimate Quik Wax/Synthetic X-Press Wax.

 

OK, thanks for the input, i appreciate it. Whatever crap they sprayed on at the dealership has completely washed off, so I'll give this a go and see how it works out.

 

Megs Ultimate Liquid Wax is not actually wax...it's a polymer based sealant. I've since moved on to other sealants, but when I used it, it had very good longevity and very good gloss. The only thing I didn't like about it was that the color of my truck looked muted and lacked depth, which can be typical of some sealants. Topping it with a carnuba based product, in my case Pinnacle Sovereign paste wax, improved that issue somewhat.

 

I read or heard somewhere that some companies market sealants as waxes. It’s because the average consumer doesn’t know what a sealant is, but everyone knows what wax is.

 

I believe I’ve read the same directly from Meguiar’s about a few of their products. If I remember correctly it was the NXT 2.0 and maybe one of the ultimate line waxes. I use the NXT wax also, and Meg’s made it sound more like a hybrid of a wax and sealant.

 

This is my experience too, much easier and faster to apply than my typical mother’s carnuba wax, just doesn’t do quite as well of a job and doesn’t last as long.

 

That's exactly what someone from Meguiars told me

 

It makes sense. I was doing a couple of trucks for some guys earlier this year while on a trip. There were about a dozen people hanging out while I was doing it, and I could not get it through their heads that I was applying sealants, not waxes. I gave up correcting them eventually.

Since they’re actually giving you a product that’s better than advertised, nobody is going to call them out on it.

 

X2 on the turtle wax ice, it isn't your dads turtle wax. I also like that you can use it on plastic trim without it turning white.
